CREATIVE SCRAPPERS OCTOBER SKETCH..

Gidday! How has  your day been?  I have been baby sitting my nephews two little boys on a wednesday, so my day has been busy!!

I saw this fabulous sketch over at CREATIVE SCRAPPERS which uses 4 photos so I thought I would give it a go.. however I have missed the link up but I may as well share it with you anyways!!
The sketch..
And my layout..

some closer views.

 I have used some die cuts and some really old stickers in my clusters...

Lots of punched edges too.. more stickers in my cluster..

It was a good day..

I have used some really old papers on this and old stickers but I think it looks pretty ok!!! I just cant keep up with the days sometimes so if you know how to slow this crazy pace down then you have my permission to do so!!!

Thanks for dropping by, I know how busy we all are.. thanks so much for any comments too..  Take care...

KAISERCRAFT OCTOBER CHALLENGE..

Hello there,
 here we are at the weekend again, the week has flown by yet again!

I have managed to do a layout for this months  KAISERCRAFT OCTOBER CHALLENGE which is a bingo card and we are to choose a row and use that criteria..
I have used the third row down across.. which is patterned paper only, clear stamp, flowers and gold..  all the papers are Kaisercraft with most from the Cottage Rose range, as well as some gold foil paper.

some closer views..

The flowers are fussy cut from the papers, lots of Kaisercraft stamps.

I love that Kaisercraft die.. and drops of Kaisercraft pink paint..

Enjoy the journey..

The photo is of my DD among some wild peach trees in flower..

Thanks so much for coming on by, and thanks so much for your encouraging comments.. I hope you have a lovely weekend!!

KRAFT + - Blast from the past!

Hello there,
I hope your day is going well....

I am just popping in to put up my layout for this months challenge over at KRAFT + which is another fabulous one that I enjoyed creating for... and it is..
A blast from the past.. to use at least one of the mentioned embellishments on your creation...  Well if you are like me... I have lots of stuff that could well be hummm how shall we say.... a bit dated!!! So I thought I would give this one a go!!

I have used brads, ric rac, ribbon, old papers, punches which I still love to use, and may I add to that fozz felt..  ohhh that is an old product...hehe...  and some old rub ons, and some old basic grey chipboard stickers... hehe...  and so my layout...

some closer views..

 Anyone remember this range from Basic Grey!!! hehe.. I have also used the backing from some prima flowers in there too... and I still like ric rac!

In this cluster I have two brads which I have used like flairs.. I took off the metal prong thingys and used a foam dot to hold them on my page..  and does anyone use the bling flourishes anymore?? hehe.. I still have a few.. I really should use them !!

Memories..

oh my even my photo is a blast from the past!! All dressed in our sunday best.. my sisters and I. .I am guessing the photo is about 1969...

What a great challenge KRAFT +, be sure to go and check it all out and dig up some of your old stuff and create something too!!

Thanks so much for coming by.. and thank you too for the lovely comments you leave.. Its a great way of letting me know you were here!!

D-LISH SCRAPS OCTOBER Inspiration Board

Hello there,
How are you on this the second week of October already??

I am just popping up my layout for the October challenge for D-LISH SCRAPS which is a fabulous inspiration board and it looks like..
hummm now when I printed it out to have on my desk with my monthly challenges the greeny color was more of a teal so that is what I went with..  Perhaps next time I will use the image straight from my computer some how.. but not to worry..  I was inspired by the sketch and had a bit of creative fun doing the back ground.... I also used the JAP kit too from D-Lish Scraps.

some closer views.

I love the teeny tiny stars that were in the kit!!
